This is the most essential battleground, the fields the place audio system are vanquished or topped kings and emperors. What proper is a speaker, after all, if it can not deliver pitch perfect audio, cope with heavy bass, and supply thick mid-tones except flailing (and failing)?

The younger sibling – Creative D100 – has sure issues with bass heavy songs and doesn’t deal with excessive tunes quite so effortlessly. Fortunately, the D200 doesn’t suffer from the identical troubles and supplies rich, deep bass and pretty clear high tones. We hooked up our iPhone Touch crammed with 32GB of music, and threw everything from Enrico Morricone and the Kill Bill soundtrack to Justin Bieber and Danger Mouse’s ‘Grey Album’ at it. We tried some Pavarotti, and even some Indian classical sitar track by Pandit Ravi Shankar.

The results?

Justin Beiber and his ilk would be pretty happy. Regular pop does not absolutely stretch the audio system and the D200 delivered a amazing performance. The Kill Bill soundtrack was rendered with admirable precision as well – now not quite as exact as our $600 Bose speakers, however amazing nonetheless.

Pavarotti precipitated some problems, and the humming of the classical Indian sitar wasn’t pretty clear at times. But these had been more or much less isolated instances and for ordinary use, the sound is extra than safely powerful and clear.

The sound best is solid, nothing more, nothing less. You may not be blown away, but you would not prefer to climb into a corner with your ears stuffed with cotton wool either.

Overall, for the price, these are a very ‘sensible’ pair of speakers (a word we do not use very often). Setup is handy and the sound exceptional is above average. For $107, you may be tough pressed to locate a greater well-rounded set of wi-fi Bluetooth speakers than the Creative D200.
